My Review:
Reavis Wortham has a way of transporting the reader back in time. The pace of his novels is deceptively laid back and relaxing until you stumble upon a horrific murder scene. The atmosphere seems too beautiful at times to be marred by all the blood and death that seems to revolve around the small town of Center Springs, Texas.
Burrows picks up where Rock Hole left off. (See my review of Rock Hole.) The familiar characters and setting of this novel is comforting. Characters like Ned Parker, Top, Pepper and Big John are back and again seem to be so well developed that you are reluctant to see the book come to an end.
Burrrows is a little different than Rock Hole in that you know exactly who the murderer is from the very beginning. Even though we know the identity of the killer we don’t know what is motivating him, who he will kill next or where the heck he is hiding. That is where Ned & Cody Parker come into play. Their no nonsense approach to police work will have them hot on the trail.
Audio Production: Traber Burns was excellent once again. He had surprised me with his skills in Rock Hole so I had high expectations for a great listening experience in Burrows. He did not disappoint.
Overall: Burrows is an excellent thriller that is equal parts nostalgic and suspenseful. Well worth the time to listen though I would highly recommend that you start with the first Red River novel Rock Hole.
